The Expendables

Made from scratch in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 43. Theme: Sacrifices must be made!

Instructions: 

You cannot attack! You must send your minions to die for you and survive as long as possible. To control a minion, have the overlord walk up close to it. They won't sacrifice themselves if they aren't ordered to! They'll destroy any enemy they touch, at the cost of their own lives! You can also order them to use some abilities (they'll still die though, so that's on your conscience too).

Controls:

• WASD to move the overlord
• Minions move to mouse pointer
• E to turn a minion into a shield that only blocks enemies
• Q to turn a minion into a bomb that hurts everyone!
